Bright Moon Fairy King

"Oh! By the grace of Aulë, I swear by my beard, this will become the royal symbol of my Iron Hills dwarf clan."

Dann raised the hammer in his hand with great satisfaction. Immediately, the hammer also felt the owner's call, and it bloomed a beautiful bright red.

The dwarves of the Iron Hills saw the hammer in the hands of their great king blooming with brilliant light. The dwarves lowered their proud heads, put their hands on their left and right shoulders, and bent down. This was the highest salute of the dwarves.

"Great King Dane II of the Iron Hills, your light will guide us to glory!" After the dwarves gave the highest salute, they raised their hands in the air and shouted loudly.

Dann put down the hammer, walked up to Orovel and said sincerely: "Oh...this...please forgive me, I am a little excited at this time, you actually gave me such a precious thing." He was given to me as a gift, and he is even comparable to the most precious treasure of our family - the Arkenstone."

Dann II waved to a dwarf warrior, who whispered something to him with his ears attached, and soon the dwarf warrior nodded and walked away.

Dann continued to entertain Oroviel, and after a while the dwarf warrior came in holding a wooden plate covered with red cloth.

He walked up to Orovel, held the wooden plate above his head with both hands, and presented it to him.

Orovel asked with some confusion: "Dan, what is this?"

Dann smiled heartily, "Oroviel, you gave me such a precious gift, and I will give you the same treasure. Although it cannot compare with the gift you gave me, it is a little bit of my heart. Please accept it. Down."

After saying that, he lifted up the red cloth covering such a mysterious gift, and for a moment a silvery-white light shone in the square. After the light disappeared, a chainmail lining made of pure mithril was revealed in Orovel's head. His eyes were caught by this beautiful thing.

"I like this gift very much, thank you very much." Orovel happily accepted the gift.

"Oroville, you elves have a long history. Have you ever seen a monster with a wolf head and body like this? I looked through the history of the dwarves and found that there is no record of such monsters. They seem to appear out of thin air. They are somewhat weak. The dwarves will face the claws of evil again, which makes me very worried." Dann II said worriedly.

Since Smaug, a descendant of Glaurung, invaded the once extremely powerful dwarf kingdom of Erub, the dwarves have left their homeland, and the seven families that were once united have also fallen apart.Perhaps in the near future, the footprints of the dwarves will disappear in Middle-earth, and the hardworking and intelligent race of dwarves will only exist in the legends written by humans.

"I know a little about this. The one next to me is the princess of the Golden Forest Elf of Xilin Continent. She knows this kind of monster very well." After speaking, Orovel stretched his hand towards Irene's position.

After Erin's brief narration, Dan also knew all this.

Orovel said in a deep voice: "Dane Ironfoot, the whirlpool of war has quietly approached, no one can escape, fear can only be silenced in powerlessness, only by facing the storm can you see the rainbow after the wind and rain."

After hearing this, Dan's face showed solemnity, and he walked around the table... The originally lively banquet also cooled down for a while.

The dwarves looked at Dane Ironfoot. No matter what decision their king made, they would support it, whether it was to hide from the world until even the immortal elves forgot about them, or to show off the glory of their own people before the sun set over the Western Mountains. They all support it.

Dann slammed the table vigorously, raised the mace in his hand and shouted: "The dwarves will never retreat! Since they want war, then we will give them war!"

"Okay! Long live Dann!" The dwarves present raised their hands and shouted.

"The dwarves of the Iron Hills request to form an alliance with the elves of the City of Bright Moon." Dann Ironfoot extended his right hand sincerely.

Orovel shook it without hesitation, "The Moon Elf will be your reliable ally."

Since the First Era, when the dwarves killed Thingol, the elf king of Doriath, because they coveted the Silmaril, the ancient alliance was broken. The relationship between the dwarves and the elves has become extremely weak since then, but thousands of Today, years later, the dwarves once again formed an alliance with the elves. This thing that others thought was impossible was realized here.

After the banquet, Dann grabbed Orovel and said, "I have something very important to tell you."

So they came to a cliff alone. Orovel and Dann stood on a high place overlooking the beautiful scenery below.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's beautiful!"

The two were chatting for no reason, and suddenly Dane spoke, "The dwarves of the Iron Hills alone are still a little weak. If the dwarves unite again, the power of the free races in the north will be even stronger, but we have lost the king. , the bloodline of the royal family of Durin has withered, and I have not yet found the whereabouts of my cousin Thorin. Some say that he haunts the Blue Mountains, while others say that he haunts human blacksmiths and taverns... evil Azog, the pale orc, has placed a large bounty on my cousin Thorin's head."

"I will find him. This is not only my promise to you, but also my contribution to the northern race."

The next day, after Orovel integrated the elves of Xilin Continent, he said goodbye to Dann Ironfoot.

After a day and night of running around, they returned to the City of Bright Moon. The elves from Xilin Continent all marveled at this city that looked like one in mythical stories. It was so beautiful.

After arranging a residence for the Shireen elves, Orovel and Irene discussed the ownership of these Shireen elves warriors. Finally, this group of one thousand Shireen warriors was incorporated into the ranks of the Holy Tree Knights.

Orovel came to World Tree alone, and he asked World Tree if he knew the traces of Thorin Oakenshield.

However, World Tree told him that the time had not come, the veil of fate covered all this, and the people who should appear would only appear at the time they should appear.

Orovel also expressed special speechlessness about this. In that case, he should go and find it himself. According to the information given by Dane Ironfoot, his cousin Thorin Oakenshield should be in an area close to humans in the Blue Mountains.

By the way, he can also visit the Lord of Rivendell (Rivendell), Elrond. This legendary uncrowned king of elves has the blood of the royal Númenóreans and has the ability to predict the future. Maybe he can learn from it. Get some news.

Although today's City of Bright Moon has the highest military equipment and economic level in the mainland, it still has a fatal weakness. The number of people is too small.Rivendell is a reliable ally who can be easily won over.
